"Le moyen de parvenir, tome 2/3" by Béroalde de Verville is a banquet narrative published in 1616. This eccentric work assembles guests from different eras and social ranks at an imaginary feast where they speak freely, moving from topic to topic through imperceptible connections. The text reflects late Renaissance anxieties following religious wars and social upheaval, channeling this turmoil into carnivalesque satire. With its transgressive content and chaotic structure, the work stands at the crossroads between Renaissance exuberance and emerging concepts of literary obscenity.
